That appears to be the Canadian Cheez Whiz (U.S. food labels would
not say "modified milk ingredients").

Cheez Whiz as known to the United States:

"Milk And Part-Skim Milk, Water, Whey, Milkfat, Sodium Phosphate,
Contains Less Than 2% Of Dried Corn Syrup, Salt, Worcestershire
Sauce (Vinegar, Water, Molasses, Corn Syrup, Salt, Sugar, Caramel
Color, Dried Garlic, Spice, Anchovies, Tamarind, Natural
Preservative, Annatto (Color), Oleoresin Paprika, Enzymes"

There is no actual cheese in those ingredients. There are
ingredients in there to make cheese, but collectively, it is not
cheese. At least not in my opinion.
